GOLF-CLUB.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent N0. 697,542, dated April 15, 1902. Application filed August 2'7, 1900. Serial No. 28,229. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM ROBERTSON, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Ravensby Foes, Carnoustie, Scotland, have invented new anduseful Improvements in Golf-Clubs, of which the following is'a specification. I

This invention has reference to improvements in golf-clubs, such improvements being more particularly applicable to or useful when combined with the club known as the putting-iron, which is employed in putting or holing the ball.

My invention consists in providing a golfclub with a guide or sight which when the club is about to be used can be raised or moved into a position so as tobe instrumental in assisting in the proper adjustment of said club when addressing the-ball, said guide or sight being hingedly connected to the iron, so as to be capable of being readily swung or folded down and about flush with the iron, thus not forming any obstruction when the club is not in use.

In the accompanying drawing my invention is shownin perspective View, the guide or sight being opened or raised ready for use.

' In carrying my invention into practice I make the iron A with a groove a and hingedly attach a guide or sight B thereto at about the top end of said groove, so that it may be readily opened into the position shown or folded down into said groove a, when it will be practically flush with the iron and not form any obstruction, the whole having then the appearance of an ordinary plain iron, the hinged connection of the guide or sight being instrumental in enabling said guide to be put into or out of its operative position without actual detachment from the iron.

Having nowdescribed my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A golf-club A having a groove at at the up per end of which a guide is hingedly attached to said club all for the purposes and substantially as 'set forth.

Dated this 6th day of July, 1900.

WILLIAM ROBERTSON.
